In about two weeks time, as we enter 2013, Najib becomes a Man…or he will have to try and be one! What sort of a man he will become is anybody’s guess.

It will be difficult for
any of us to try and imagine what other malaputaka (catastrophe) would befall
this hapless Prime Minister of ours as he gamely tries to paddle his kayak - the S.S. Putrajaya - over Class V rapids on his way to the 13th General
Election and oblivion!

He better be adept at doing
the “Eskimo Roll” - what paddlers do to roll back upright when flipped….though
ideally he should shed some weight before the start of this trip if he does
want to try an do that roll!

But tell me friends what
can he do with a taskmaster as formidable as FLOM? Just thinking of FLOM
sitting across the breakfast table from Najib makes me think of those immortal
lines from Shakespeare’s Macbeth “

Is this a dagger which I see before me,

The handle toward my hand? Come, let me
clutch thee.

I have thee not, and yet I see thee
still.

Think what Najib
would really like to do with that dagger! Or better still, think of what UMNO
would like to do with that dagger! What YOU would like to do is of no
consequence because YOU will never get to sit across a breakfast table with
FLOM…or should I say YOU would never want to sit across the breakfast table
with FLOM? Who wants to sit with the devil or Satan!

Anyway I
digress….let us go back to that sorry excuse of an overweight (some would say
cuddly – a Panda is cuddly- Najib is not a Panda) Prime Minister paddling a
kayak in Class V rapids. Let us say that somehow he does get past these Class V
rapids and is foolhardy enough to go to the next level where certain death
awaits him…..what then?

Altantuya, Razak Baginda, Teoh Beng Hock,
Kugan, Aminurasyid, the ghosts of countless deaths in Police custody and do not
forget that son of Yasssin all awaits him as he lines up to start an impossible
journey. A journey where Najib will come face to face with his worse fear
–being left alone up a creek without a paddle!

All his life he has led a charmed life.

Always he has had Tun Razak’s legacy to use
as his passport as he stumbled from being the youngest most randy MP ever to
being our unworthy, unelected most Queen controlled Prime Minister ever!

Always Najib has avoided taking up the
mantle of greatness that Tun Razak left him possibly because he knew he would
never be worthy of it.

Always he has chosen the easy path of doing
what was best for himself. In this he has perfected the art of questionable
compromise to benefit his agenda never that of others.

From 2013 he will stumble no more.

In about two weeks time, as we enter 2013,
Najib becomes a Man…or he will have to try and be one! What sort of a man he
will become is anybody’s guess.

A shrivelling, unprincipled coward of a man
without the courage to stand up and face Anwar Ibrahim on a level playing field
at the 13th general election?

Would he be the man who, as UMNO President,
is reduced to appealing to those outside UMNO for a mandate to reform UMNO?

Would he be the man exposed as the ex
Minister of Defence whose exploits during his term of office becomes stuff of
legends? Massive corruption, abuse of executive privilege and the ‘don’t ask
don’t tell’ involvement of all levels within the Army Rank and File to those
Civilians from peons to KSU level in Mindef – all involve in corruption of
varying degrees!

Or would he be the man who accompanied
Rosmah to destinations unknown after the 13th general elections in
order to partake of their wealth accumulated during his time in UMNO far from
the clutches of our Judiciary?

Whatever happens we know that we will only
have to wait a few more months to see how all this will pan out. I cannot help
but feel pity for Najib as I would feel pity for an injured Gazelle being
stalked by a pride of Lions.

For the Gazele death is certain and our hope is
that it would be soon and quick. For Najib there will be no such graces. He
chose his own path to where he is now. It is fitting that he reaps what he
sows. Amen!
